Neither #include_next nor the generic/asm approach seems to have a straightforward way of handling exported user space headers. The current include/asm-generic way of doing this isn't nice either, but at least it's a known evil.
Since the question of asm-generic is almost entirely independent of where the regular arch headers are, I'd vote for leaving asm-generic alone for now and only doing the obvious move of all other headers to arch/*/include/asm as a significant step in the right direction. Nobody seemed to object that part so far, and the only significant changes it needs are in sparc64, m68knommu and um as well as a few scripts changes.
